More quotes by David Brooks
Creativity is not a solitary process. It happens within networks... when talented people get together, when idea systems and mentalities merge.
David Brooks
Charter schools are public schools. They're paid for publicly and they're part of the public system. They just have a more independent structure.
David Brooks
As a director, I like trying to unlock the subtext of the scene and try to put the camera in a place that helps that.
David Brooks
If Donald Trump wants to fire somebody for not getting Obamacare repealed, he should fire himself.
David Brooks
Civility is the natural state for people who know how limited their own individual powers are and know, too, that they need the conversation.
David Brooks
The idea that when you correct a fact, you erase that fact from people's memories is the reverse of the truth. When you correct a fact, what you do is you further lodge that fact into people's minds, and they remember the error.
David Brooks
I think the Democrats are right to protest, but I don't think Jeff Sessions is so far out of the range of normalcy that he shouldn't be confirmed.
David Brooks
We're no longer living in Tammany Hall America.
David Brooks
I have come to think we have to treat Donald Trump's tweets like Snapchat. It's just something that is going to go away. And it flies out of some region of his brain and it goes out into the ether. And usually it's on the realm of media.
David Brooks
Republicans are living in a hermetically sealed Republican universe, just as Democrats are. And so they're responding to their own universe, even if it leads to electoral downfall.
David Brooks
What's interesting about the Trump administration is how bitterly divided they are in their attitudes towards Putin.
David Brooks
It's always dangerous to overinterpret what Donald Trump says at any one moment.
David Brooks
It's almost inherent, but I'm a massive Stanley Kubrick fan. I'm a big admirer of what guys like Christopher Nolan have been able to do. For me, to be able to try to make big films that reach a lot of people, and that hopefully have something to say, is a lofty goal, but that's my goal.
David Brooks
Tim Kaine has been obviously a governor. He's been a senator. He's one of the smartest rising stars in the Democratic Party. He is very plausible as someone who could sit in and be president.
David Brooks
One of the things I think about with Donald Trump is what are his words actually attached to? With Trump, I'm not sure the words have roots. They are emanations of his psyche, but has he thought it through? Is there an argument, is there a policy implication?
David Brooks
The gun becomes this psychological totem, this thing of who I am. And it's almost as if using the gun is going to be the thing that's going to be my expression of how I make a difference in the world.
David Brooks
I think as we interpret him and frankly as the world learns to interpret Donald Trump, are these just words that are enigmatic things floating on air or are they actually shifts in policy and will they change moment by moment, day by day without any underlying connection to the actual stuff of governance? I don't know.
David Brooks
The more attention Hillary Clinton gives to the country, the less people seem to like her.
David Brooks
Donald Trump tried to set up this debate where it was going to be globalists vs. nationalists, and the Republicans were going to be the nationalists. But, if anything, the Democrats looked more patriotic and more nationalist at the end of these two.
David Brooks
No matter where you are on politics, I think it is wonderful to see candidates funding campaigns not by talking to a very small number of very rich people, but by reaching out to a very large number of citizens.
